Harbour Island Junkanoo
25° 29.9′ N · 76° 38.1′ W · approximate
Harbour Island has its own Junkanoo committee and groups, so Dunmore Town's streets fill with costumed rush-outs, goatskin drums, cowbells and horns.
Practical
Coordinate approx: Dunmore Town (the historic district entry); routes and dates are not published, so ask at the Ministry of Tourism office in Dunmore Town (OpenStreetMap node 3223648769). Junkanoo in the Bahamas is traditionally on Boxing Day (December 26) and New Year's Day (Wikipedia). The Harbour Island Junkanoo Committee received community funding in May 2026 (Eleuthera News), Wikipedia's Harbour Island article shows Dunmore School children at Junkanoo in 2008, and a Junkanoo rush-out was part of Lobster Head Fest in August 2026. In winter, anchor off Dunmore Town only in settled weather or take a marina slip; fronts make the harbour rough.
